Good point, supperstar. I have been reading tmac21's posts for a long time. I have always thought that he (I'm assuming that it's a he) couldn't stand the heat, so he got out of the kitchen. It all sounds like a lot of sour grapes to me. I'm glad Slatten is staying, although I never really heard that he was going to leave. People were just starting a lot of nasty rumors. I saw progress this year. I didn't see near enough wins, but this year's team looked far better than last year's. That's a fairly promising trend.

 

No one ever addressed the question about Coach Dotson. Is he going to be back too?

Well T-Mac in case you haven't noticed, coaching isn't a popularity contest. If you do things the right way or the wrong way, you are still going to have people talking about you. I'm sure that there might even be some people who dislike you because that is just the way life is. I agree that Slatten didn't win many games this year and if that continues, then get a new coach, just don't get rid of him while they are still rebuilidng. It usually takes a few years to get a program to move up and play better ball.

tmac...Go back and read my last post again. I said that I didn't see enough wins this season. I did see progress, though. The team played much harder and just looked better in general than it did last year. Take Sam Agee away from last year's team, and they would have gotten ZERO wins. They were improved this year with basically that same team, less Sam. I think they need to break even, or better, next year. If the team doesn't, people should probably start losing a little patience. By then, this team will have been together for 3 years, even longer if you count Middle School and freshman ball. Three years is plenty of time to at least have the groundwork laid for a winning program. I feel that winning the district is probably out of the question, but they shouldn't settle for less than middle of the pack. Another last place finish would be unacceptable.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
